Quoted: Quoted: Not passing in the passing lane is the biggest. MOVE THE FUCK OVER! This. Exactly. But someone is gonna come along and say that in his state "it's perfectly legal to go at a slower speed in the left hand lane, and blah, blah, blah...." It's the same type of asshole that will say "it's perfectly legal" to have up to three motor vehicles on the front lawn of his property, regardless of condition, or absence of tires, and blah, blah, blah.... SHUT UP!! There's something to be said for common courtesy that goes beyond any laws. JUST MOVE THE FUCK OVER!!

Quoted:
When I'm coming home from work and have to merge onto a 3 lane highway, that is currently under road construction and has a 30 foot merging lane. Every asshole on the road insist on being in the right lane when the other 2 are practically empty. Lol, you talking about 465? I use it everyday from the southside and head west. I swear it looks done right now! It's been years, time to open it up! |

But I'm on the west side, so I'm going to have to deal with the Crawfordsville RD/74 exits for another year or 2. To this day, I can't figure out why they can't go from section A to B to C. Instead we have to do A, then jump to C, then go back to B when everything else is finally done. |

All drivers from Oregon and Washington. they go 20 mph under the limit, what in God's name do the cops do to you people up there for speeding?
Then there's the "Nevada Turn". If you need to turn left, you immediately turn to the right making a huge semi circle then come about and turn left like you're hauling the Queen Mary into Dry Dock. When you're making a right hand turn, you come to a complete stop, wait 11 seconds and go 2 mph into the turn. |

I drive from small town through pastoral two lane highway into dense urban terrain - I see everything.
No turn signal in tight traffic 5 mph slower than the speed limit in the passing lane and will not move over people who swerve into the passing lane to turn right people who will comfortably drive next to me or tailgate for miles people who will not pass people who constantly press their brakes - even though there is nothing to brake for people who drive the entire trip in the passing lane people who turn onto the highway exactly as I passing them or right before, even though there is nobody behind me for a great distance people who speed up , pass me, then slow down to turn right in front of me people with cars held together by tie-downs, duct tape or one of their "rims" is shot so they go back to the radial on one wheel so the fucking expedition drives all lop sided. people who do not pay attention to the road ahead of them People who haul ass in the speed control areas, and unbelievably, do not get tickets. Then, five miles later on the highway, they are hogging the passing lane going eight under People who drive the same road every fucking day but cannot seem to remember that the road squeezes down to one lane in the same spot everyday, so they have to fuck everybody up while they un-fuck themselves. fucks that do not understand the zipper effect in heavy traffic Anything an illegal does in traffic or the road is going to be stupid In tight traffic the guy who taps their brakes making me slow down, making traffic slingshot. The poor slob a mile back has to stop for five minutes. I could go on... I find myself getting behind the dump trucks and industrial vehicles because those guys at least drive with a purpose. |

[div]I cannot stand it when AssHoles will not move from the Fast/Passing Lane to the right lane. This impedes the flow of traffic and will cause collisions. My friend did this the two hours he drove to virginia. he drives slower than my grandma. I was on him the whole time to get the fuck over. He kept askin why should he

Every single day I get off at the Harding Street exit from the west side to go back to my shop and traffic is always stopped a half mile back, hell sometimes it's backed up to the bridge which is like 2 miles from the exit. I hate 37, and 465 but there is really no other way other than side roads all the way from 67 or 31....so I just deal with it.
Sucks you have to deal with the Crawfordsville deal now, and they just started on 70 east, jeez there is major road construction at like every single busy part of the high way now I'll be glad when it's over...but new project will just start somewhere else

Fucks who don't use turn signals and fucks who don't leave enough room to make a right turn. There is a bona fide REASON I don't use my turn signals on the turnpike and that is because of assholes that SPEED UP when you turn them on. When I make a lane change on an expressway, I make damned good and sure I have enough room to change my lane safely and then do so without warning. That way the jerk doesn't spped up and keep me stuck in the lane I do not want to be in. Fastest way to turn a turtle into a Hot Rod Huntley is to turn on a turn signal. |

Quoted:
People on I-4 that think if it starts raining they have to drive 20pmph with the hazards on. Oh and people in the fast lane going under the speed limit,yacking on the cell phone, and oblivious to the 20 cars stacked up behind them trying to get by. Anyone with a CCW ought to be able to shoot in sight a texter and recieve a $200 bounty. |
| Why can’t people merge in an orderly efficient manner? I’ve been driving some of the worst traffic in America daily for the past 15 years (northern Virginia into DC and back), and over the years I’ve observed that the overwhelming bulk of jams and delays are created from points where folks must merge…..why in the hell is it so freaking difficult for people to merge? |

Quoted:
Oh, also asshats that think because I'm on 2 wheels, that they ride my ass, cut me off, turn in front of me, think they have to monitor my speed, throw shit, and what ever else stupid people like to do to motorcyclist. Solution to that problem, carry a pocket full of old nuts and bolts, wear steel toe boots. Of course this is last resort action, I don't suggest you fuck up a car unless you have to. I do use the bikes superior power, braking, and handling to avoid the assholes when I can, if not, its' GAME ON. |
| Whenever there are 2 lanes for turning left, and either the idiot in the outside lane turns into the inside lane, cutting you off, or the idiot in the inside lane turns into the outside lane, cutting you off. Its so predictable, I just anticipate it happening every time. |

SHUT UP!! There's something to be said for common courtesy that goes beyond any laws. JUST MOVE THE FUCK OVER!! Not in the State of Texas it's not. Speed the fuck up or get the fuck out of the lane. Two violations immediately come to mind (Fail to Observe Sign 'Slower Traffic Keep Right' and Impeding Traffic), but give me a few minutes to brush up on traffic code, and I could probably make a few more fit. |
| I do feel obligated to point out that even the worst driver in the States is Jeff Gordon compared to S. Korean drivers or haji drivers. You could be in the middle of the fucking desert, nothing but sand for 1000s of miles in every direction, with a single palm tree in the middle of it, and there would be 20 mother fuckers wrapped around it. |

You mean like when the guy behind me on a 3 lane highway tries to pass me on the right, only to try to get in front of me, and back into traffic? I have learned to watch my mirrors and use my go-petal.  Why is he having to pass you on the right and why are you speeding up when he does? |

Let's hear your pet driving peeves. Fucking people driving 10MPH below the posted 70MPH on the freeway in the left lane. Were I Emperor for the day, I'd have them shot.. I don't care if they are doing 20 OVER, if I am faster and they aren't in the act of passing someone, they need to get the fuck out of the way. |

Quoted: I have no idea why someone would try and pass on the right in heavy traffic, but I make sure they get back in line.

| Impatient drivers in a city. Really asshat. Is it necessary to do 65 to the next red light, all that just to stop. We know the bitch in the passenger seat is probably raging but lay off the accelerator and just enjoy the ride. We'll end up at the same place, at the same time. |

Cars that get in the left lane and cruze...I flash my high beams, I lay on the horn, they are completely fucking oblivious to anything outside their 10% tinted windows on their Explorer with all the chrome accents you could find at AutoZone...you can see them from space, the big glint reflecting sunlight with 1,000 cars piled up behind them... |
